Question about KoS AP tree

[Illmarr]

<DIV>Greetings all</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My question is will the middle abilities like the ones in the wisdom and strength lines (Seasoned Veteran and Weapon Experitse) still give you their bonus if you do not have a hammer or axe equipped? I currently use the Droag collection one hand sword and am wondering if I would get the benefit of either of these abilities while having it equipped</DIV>

<div></div>The 2nd (the one right after the direct stat increasers) in each line of the kos abilities (typically a CA) require you to use the weapon specified.  Everything else in each line doesn't require something specifically equiped. Altho the stamina line is the exception.  You are required to wear a buckler for all the advantages of that line. <div></div><p>Message Edited by Mjollnyr on <span class=date_text>12-07-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:17 PM</span>

<P>Yes, unless the AA skill mentions that you have to have something equipped then you will get the benefit without having to do anything special.  You'll also see in the description for those 2 abilities, that they're marked PASSIVE.  Meaning, you don't have to do anything, they always work without you having to enable them or doing anything special.</P> <P>Enjoy</P> <P>X</P>
